ANDY Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Lincoln City to silence Dambusters March and air raid sirens due to Ukraine war https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-60938930 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markg Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 A football club has suspended the playing of the Dambusters March and the use of an air raid siren at matches while the war in Ukraine continues. Traditionally, the famous World War Two film theme had been played before each Lincoln City home game, while the siren was sounded ahead of corner kicks. WTF? Imagine the sirens going off for each of Potter's legendary corners 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Giant Hogweed Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Didn't realise there was any connection whatsoever between WW2, particularly the Dambusters and the conflict in Ukraine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY Posted March 31, 2022 Author Share Posted March 31, 2022 I can even remember hearing it when we played there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trev Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Huh? Don't really understand the reasons if I'm honest. But as long as they feel like it's a way of showing support then fair enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kew Owl Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Not sure what this achieves TBH, but fair play to Lincoln, since apparently its what a majority of their supporters voted in favour of the club doing at the present time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Too many people are losing their collective shit over the Ukraine situation Condemn, sanction, boycott, aid them, supply them etc etc - but there is a limit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember during the first Iraq war Little Angels changing the title of their album from Spitfire to something else. Wonder if they feel ridiculous now?

cardiffowl06 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 I just don't understand why an air raid siren was a good idea for a corner kick in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
